‘Yeah, we should build our tents here!’ said Kelsi.
‘Oh, pea-brained, shut up.’ Troy murmured.
‘I beg your pardon, Mr Troy?’ said Kelsi.
‘Stop now!’ yelled Joyce.
Finally, they started building their tents. As they were typical adventurers, we finished
building the tents within 15 minutes.
‘Alright, bring your belongings and we are going to see each other at 6:00pm tonight!’ said Joyce.
‘Bye!’ said Troy and Kelsi.
‘Phew! Finally, I can get rid of the two trouble people!’ Joyce murmured. She was holding her
own map and was trying to search for animals in the desert.
For Troy, he went to find the Curtis, the sign of water.
While for Kelsi, she was different from the others, she was in the tent, eating the energy bar.
To her, health and having enough food were the most important thing. And she was about to leave
after finishing her energy bar.
All of a sudden, a sandstorm occurred. Kelsi was very lucky as she was still in the tent. She
felt safe and she was proud of her decision—eating an energy bar. But for Troy, as he didn’t bring
a scarf for covering the sand, he squatted on the sandy ground and waited for the end of the
sandstorm. For Joyce, she had brought a scarf, a mask and sunglasses. So, she just immediately,
went back to the tents and took some rest.
The sandstorm lasted for around 30 minutes. Troy had been squatting for 30 minutes. He
tremendously tried and suffered from muscle pain. He finally decided to stay in the tents and he
was going to find the Curtis the next day.
Kelsi decided to go out and find out if there are some wells nearby.
Joyce continued to search for animals in the desert.
For the first day, Joyce found Bactrian camels and marbled polecat. She could also find water
as the Bactrian camels were drinking water when Joyce discovered them. For Kelsi, she could
successfully find the wells but she could not find any of the animals. Without doubt, for Troy, zero
productivity. Time files, it was 5 :40 pm, both Joyce and Kelsi rushed back to their tents. Three of
them were talking about their findings in the desert today.
On the next day, only Kelsi and Joyce had their breakfast with food in the red bag.Troy did
not eat breakfast at all. Joyce continued to find more eatable species and both Kelsi and Troy
continued to find species in the desert.
Joyce was the luckiest person among the three. After an hour, she could find wolves as well as
snow leopards. She hunted 3 little wolves- one for lunch, one for dinner and one for the next day’s
breakfast. She took photos on snow leopards and wolves. Indeed, the animals were very beautiful.
Their fur, are not the same as the ones we saw in the zoo. Joyce was holding the 3 wolves and
went straight back to the tent. She bought fuels and pans for cooking. She decided to lunch first.
Then, she went out in search for more animals.
For Kelsi, she could find wolves and eagles. She took photos and decided to take a rest in the
tents. She did not catch them, as she just enjoyed eating ‘modern food’—the food in the red bag.
Poor Troy has to find two species in the desert. He was so hungry but he tried not to eat the
food in the red bag as marks will be deducted. However, after 2 hours walk, he still couldn’t find
any of the animals in the desert. Luckily, he searched for a well, and had some sandy water. Time
flew to 5:00 pm of the day, as he still couldn’t find any animals and he had not eaten anything
